Paul and Fritz Kalbrenner and Florian Appl play music with the Babelsberg Film Orchestra to living pictures by Hannes Stöhr. Fritz Kalkbrenner sings the title-track for the movie once again with "Willing" (just like he did on the track "Sky & Sand" for Berlin Calling). Global Player is already the fourth collaboration between Florian Appl and screenwriter/director Hannes Stöhr (Berlin Is in Germany [2001], Tatort-Odins Rache [2003] and One Day in Europe [2005]). For his contribution to the movie Berlin Is in Germany Florian Appl even won the Rolf-Hans-Müller Award for the best movie score. Paul Kalkbrenner and Hannes Stöhr aren't strangers to each other, either. In 2008 Kalkbrenner starred in Stöhr's movie Berlin Calling and wrote the soundtrack of the same name, which won platinum status in 2012. For Global Player, Hannes Stöhr took the opportunity of a collaboration between Florian Appl and the Kalkbrenner brothers Paul and Fritz, and out came a soundtrack which impressively and elegantly compounds classical music, melancholia and dancefloor inclinations. On this soundtrack you will find already well-known compositions by Fritz and Paul -- newly interpreted with assistance from the Babelsberg Film Orchestra -- as well as parts of the movie score remixed by the two brothers.
